Press Reviews

"…hilarious…[a] celebration of both girlishness and womanliness and its affection for the female iconography of the mid-twentieth century is difficult to resist…clever lyrics…entertaining original tunes…"

— The New York Times

"A light-hearted charmer…an irresistible spoof in the Nunsense and Forever Plaid vein."

— Backstage.   ”There is only one play in town with Bette Davis, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Iranian plate spinners. It's the same musical comedy that has a Busby Berkeley chorus line, Edith Piaf at her most maudlin, and a leopard-skinned jungle woman lamenting that her boyfriend thinks of her as Just Another Jane. The production is entitled FAME TAKES A HOLIDAY, and it puts all those zillion-dollar musicals uptown to shame. WNYC Public Radio
